Agreed.
But do you need light weight or small? The aluminum side opening blocks are so versatile it makes sense to have some of them and they really don’t weigh that much. I think these are the ones we have, or maybe another brand that looks similar: https://www.gmesupply.com/kearney-303b2pj-3-inch-aluminum-side-opening-hand-line-block Rock Exotica though does have pulleys you can just stick in your pocket.

So many good ones out there right now. These are some of the favorites: https://www.rockexotica.com/product/pulleys Yes, it’s rock climbing gear but it’s appropriately rated, meets applicable standards, and is really good stuff.

Mark Radabaugh wrote: I would actually go lower diameter at 3/8” Unless you are pulling up the tower itself 5000’ is plenty strong and considerably lighter than the 1/2” or the 5/8”. The one you linked to is a good rope. I think we have the 3/8” as our main haul line. We have heavier 1/2" and 5/8” ropes for climbing ropes.
